How Stephanie Vaquer managed to claim her NXT Championship title




The bout opened the event on Saturday and saw Vaquer forced to overcome all of Henley and her Fatal Influence stablemates, Jazmyn Nyx and Jayne. Jayne delivered a kick to the challenger outside the ring, while Nyx distracted the referee, allowing Henley to land a lariat and two forearms for the near-fall.


Vaquer fought back, executing a 619 and a cross-body to suplex combination, then repeatedly driving Henley’s face into the mat after trapping her head between her knees. Just as she gained momentum, Jayne interfered again, landing a sucker punch from ringside, that led to a close pinfall from the champion. This shocked Jayne, as she believed that the match was almost over.
